More accurately a perceived conflict is more of a profound truths that America as we approach it and is no longer one nation under God. We are really two separate nations with two distinct and incompatible moral visions. We are two nations occupying the same piece of real estate and engaged in a giant culture tug-of-war for that real estate. We find ourselves currently collecting politicians who use this concept of two Americas to divide us into warring groups. Bikes are pitted against whites, rich against poor, Democrats against Republicans, Christians against Jews, consumers against capitalists, men against women, and so on. The truth is that different people do have different ideas of how America should look. But it is a lot simpler than a complicated smorgasbord of competing interests. There are just too basic competing visions for America. These encompass all the various special interest groups. These two views can be characterized as either support for or opposition to the Chris

In an abstract way there is indeed a conflict of interest here. However, if Lori is really going to be honest with the voters and herself.. she should not cop out. Either way it is pretty clear that her political career is over. My hunch is that she is a nice person who will do ok in the real world. She holds a degree from a prestigious school and will land on her feet. Lori... start preparing yourself for a gig with no more stipends, mileage or monthly cash for sitting around meetings doing nothing.

Cornell was voted into office by those who expect her to do their business. When she decides to go against those who put her in office, she is history and the rest of us outside of her district can see what she is and has no chance of winning any election for any job that serves the people. She simply gives the finger to those who voted her in office. Who would elect someone like that, she has a public record that she can not over come.

Just cant wait till November so we, the voters can really voice our opinion.

We can vote on selling the home by voting for those that would do our business. If you voted for someone and they refuse to do your business, vote against them. The majority will have their way. Sooner or later.

It appears as though Ms. Cornell reclused herself because the voters in her district had already made it clear to her that The Home needed to be sold, if it were going to survive as a Nursing Home. Ms. Cornell went against all of the facts regarding the sale and also negated the taxpayers view on the sale. Having her grandmother in the Home has absolutely nothing to do with the sale of the Home. Mr. Whitney and Mr. Hoyer should attempt to cry as well, because the voters in their districts feel the same as those in Ms. Cornells! THE HOME MUST BE SOLD TO SURVIVE!!!!!!
